We’ve been busy getting ready for a swinging 2012 – and just because it is January does not mean that shed builders are sitting on their laurels doing nothing! We are slightly redesigning the popular Manor Shed to bring you a Heritage-style design. Both, the Manor and the Heritage are sheds in the Estate Series offered exclusively by Fox’s Country Sheds.

We are in full production here at the Fox Den – a.k.a. our shop – and our crew is busily building stock sheds for our shed dealers to place on their lots once a busy spring season hits. Of course, we are open year-round, and you can order your Manor Shed now. Why wait for Spring when the backlog is huge?

Here are some photos of our new Manor Shed – an Estate Series Shed by Fox’s Country Sheds that will truly enhance your upscale property.

Well, let’s say that now that you have your backyard storage shed – you need to put things away in it in an organized manner. And keep it that way. Sometimes that is easier said than done. Here are some ways that Fox’s Country Sheds suggests that you can organize your tools and equipment in your backyard storage shed or garden shed.

Used Crates: Do you have any old wooden or plastic crates lying around? Bet you never thought about stacking them securely and using them as storage

A wall of crates creates a unique storage solution for your shed.

cubicles. Take a look at the photo on Design Squish that uses stacked crates to create a wall of storage. You can easily adapt this use in your garden shed as well. This makes an ideal solution for keeping garden equipment separate from household tools. One crate can keep open bags of grass seed safely contained while another can keep power tools out of reach of youngsters. Use your imagination and space in any way that they will fit alongside the walls of your shed. The nice thing about this solution is that you can use as many or as few as you have room for, depending on the size of your shed.

Pegboard Wall Storage: Another idea to keep garden shed tools organized is to install a wall of pegboard.

This is available as an option on all of the sheds and garages available at www.FoxSheds.com. You can always paint it to create a cheery interior, as shown on this photo from Martha Stewart.

Are we nuts?

I saw a squirrel chasing a nut across the street yesterday, and somehow it struck me as quite ironic. I’ve admitted before that I hate squirrels (and yes, hate is a strong word), but I was too amused with the scene to think about putting the pedal to the metal and making roadkill out of him. No, I would never really do that, and I found myself slowing down to let him cross, as I watched, amused.

Who am I to put the brakes on his goals? It was quite funny because this nut was rolling down the hilly street, and this poor squirrel kept catching up, before it would get away from him again.

What struck me as ironic is the fact that we are all – squirrels and humans alike – chasing something. It might be a dream, it might be a goal, it might be the basic pursuit of happiness. And when we find that “something”, whether real or perceived, we tend to store it away.

But at what point are we content with what we have? Here it is, springtime, and this squirrel surely would have had enough nuts stored away by now over the long cold winter. Yet, here was one more that he just needed to have, risking life and limb and bushy tail as he crossed the street in front of my silver four wheeled nutcracker.

How much stuff is too much?

Setting up the interior of a doublewide garage from Fox's Country Sheds

Where do we put all our stuff?

How do we keep it safe until we need to use it?

It reminded me of when I was actively selling real estate, and buyers and their continued search for that one perfect house – chasing after each new listing and never making a decision. The perfect house is out there, yet the search continues until they’ve exhausted themselves and their agent. When do they stop?

It reminded me of myself as an active real estate agent and my continued search for the perfect buyer. The perfect listing. The perfect comission split and the perfect broker. When do we stop?

And real estate sellers aren’t left out of the picture either. A seller who has stored all of his nuts into the equity of his home, only to find out that his cache is not worth as much as he thought.Where’d all that equity go?

I guess all of these thoughts would not have normally crossed my mind at the sight of a squirrel chasing a nut, but it just happened to be right as I was heading to yet another busy day at work atFox’s Country Sheds. All my thoughts were on the busy day ahead, helping to run a custom storage shed manufacturing business and helping our customers to select the perfect storage shed for all of their nuts. Ahem…stuff. Thoughts of work, shed sizes, shed styles, “did I get the wholesale price lists out to all of our dealers”, “did we get the skylites on order in on time for the potting sheds”, is so-and-so ready for their delivery, etc., along with way too much caffeine in the morning, sparked this vision of us all chasing nuts. And storing them.

Maybe I’m not a nut – just a pack-rat. Where else can I keep my endless supply of garden hoses, rakes (at last count I think we have about 5 rakes), shovels, unused flower pots, sprinklers, opened bags of potting soil and peat moss…. you get the picture.

But, unlike that squirrely little gray rodent, my stuff is neatly stored in my Heritage garden shed garage. If you ever wonder what type of shed or garage a shed builder has – this is it! I lovingly refer to it as my “sh-arage” a cross between a shed and a garage.

After watching this squirrel and his amusing chase, I have to admit ~ I have a newfound respect for that busy little rodent.

But, as roomy as my Heritage Shed garage is – squirrels are not welcome!
